I would like to point out the negative effects of centralisation particularly in Zimbabwean context. Firstly, I will try to define centralisation as the concentration of authority at the top level of the organisation/city
This has negative effects and are given below.The centralised city suffers:
Delayal in decision-making and communication due to the fact that all decisions are made at the top, Centralised power and authority might be abused, Centralised organisation faces the problem of lower motivation levels among workforce, The success of organisation depends on the competence of top executives which might be quite risky, Overpopulation, Poor service delivery, Overcrowding, Outbreak of diseases, Exhaustion of resources.
The Case Study is Harare Do you think de-centralisation which is dispersal of authority throughout the organisation/city or devolution of power and resources, a solution to curb the issue of unequal distribution of resources in Zimbabwe?
well all we can say is if the new govt doesnt change this when or if it comes in the other cities will suffer greatly....
ReplyDeleteyah but i think de-centralisation or devolutio can be a solution to this problem. Harare is overcrowded because of centralisation...
ReplyDeletedefinately, centralisation has a strong bearing in success of any business troughout the country. caz resources are cetralised some rigions are not catered for. lets take for example gold that is mined in Gwanda and other places in Mat south and then taken straight to RBZ headquaters. all this lead to skewed development caz Harare has better chances to use that gold than other pronvinces
